Reading & Home Learning
Children should be reading five times a week at home to support their reading progression. This will also boost their self-esteem and love of reading. We will be checking Boom Reader on a Monday morning, but they need to bring their reading books into school every day.
Home learning set from the CGP homework books will include a reading, maths and spelling, punctuation and grammar task. These tasks should take no more than an hour in total.
